Improvement in churns



ILPETERS. PHOTO-LITHOGRAPNER. WASHINGTON D c ia 5mm@ JAMES KING, OF SUCCASUNNA, NEW JERSEY. I d Letters .Pat-ent No. 85,594, dated January 5, 1869. A

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Figure l is a sectional view ofthe box, showing the dasher within.F

Figure 2 is -a similar View, when a circular box or can is used instead of a square box.

' Figure 3 is a detail end view of the dasher.

Figure 4f is a top View ofthe dasher, when employed in a circular box or can, as in iig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple and effective churn', and one which is easily cleansed.

It consists, in general' terms, of a dasher' of peculiar form, arranged to'revolve at an incline with 'the vertical axis of the can or box containing it.

In the drawings- A is a square box, having a cover, B.

The dasher consists of a s hort plane of wood, metal, earthen, or other suitable material, having its corners truncated or rounded, to permit its revolution in the box or can, and at the same time to present the maximum surface to act upon the cream.

It further consists in the application of two wings or auxiliary Yanes, D, aixed with their planes at right angles to the plane of the part G, and making, longitudinally, an angle with the axis of revolution with the dasher, and with each other, as is better shown in g. 1, where the dotted lines indicate the relative position of the wing hidden by the part C.

'.lhe lower end ofthe part C is provided with astud, vwhich sets in any suitable step-bearing."

The axis part, d, of the crank-handle E, passes loosely through a hole extending obliquely through the box, as shown, and affording a' bearing for the said part a. v

When ,a square box is employed, its form prevents the dasher from actuating the cream to move 1u a circular current, and thus retard the production of butter; but when the dasher is used in a can or circular box, as shown at h'gs. 2 and 3, fixed vanesor strips, H, are employed to break such currents. l

The end view of. iig. 3 shows the metal socket in which the squared end of the axis a is inserted.

By withdrawing the crank-handle from the socket, and from the box, the dasher is left free tobe lifted out and cleansed, which, from its construction, presents no cracks and complicated parts or openings to render the cleansing-operation diicult.

In the operation ot" the dasher, the part C agitates the cream with a violentuctuation, which is immediately met by the next immersing wing D, and which sets up a counter-fluctuation, and at the same' time parts the cream from the top obliquely downward, thus.

admitting the air into the extreme bottom ofthe cream, and aeratin g it thoroughly, which conduces to the rapid formation of butter.

The red outlines in Iig. 4 indicate the position of the parts C and D, as the dasher revolves.

I am aware that churn-dashers have heretofore been arranged in a diagonal position with the churn, but this I do not claim.

l'What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters detachable crank E, as herein set forth, for the pur-l pose specified.
